I had a really happy morning yesterday, sewing up the 15 fat quarters that I received in the Vintage Sheet Swap.
I added one more quarter to make it sixteen and then just sewed them all together, higgeldy piggeldy and the finished bedcover looks so sweet. It's added a bit of Spring to my Winter! I like the random nature of it, and it was so easy. Note to self though: next time make sure all pieces are EXACTLY the same size, ok?
I loved being part of the Australian Vintage Sheet Swap 2010, it was a really simple and fun swap and I received some lovely pieces. Thanks Ange!
After school snack yesterday...pikelets with maple syrup & rasberries. So simple and just the ticket when the wind is whirling & howling outside and it hasn't stopped raining for days.
I have been having fun too lately, matching up cardi's and fabric. One of my favourite parts of bunny making. I love this blue rose sheet that I picked up at an oppie on the weekend. Isn't it pretty?
I've had this little thrifted skirt for ages, just waiting for the right coloured cardi to come along.
Zappy green.
70's yellow & brown.
Sweet pale pink,
& rasberry roses.
And of course some purple too.
Now I better get busy with the scissors and sewing machine and whip up some bunnies for my new online shop! Have you visited yet? I'm so happy with it, keep an eye out as new bunnies are hopping in there all the time. By the way Blanket Bunnies have been $40 for over two years now and as the alpaca fabric is getting more expensive I will be making a price adjustment soon.
I'm off to visit some other spaces now, why don't you join me over at Kirsty's? See you soon xo

I am completely in love with your pink bunnies to be!! I can't choose which one I like more though. I feel a purchase coming soon! Love your new bed cover and how appropriate that it is one too. Very nice and simple, how it should be.
Those tiny cardigans are just gorgeous laid out on coordinating fabric. I can understand why that is your favourite part.
love the bedspread, and always enjoy those little cardigans...
Oh Beck those cardie's and fabric matches are simply TDF. Yours has to be one of the most gorgeous posts ever ... all scrummy, gentle, warm and fuzzy, Thanks Heaps ;-)
Your quilt looks so soft and charming~ I love it! In fact, I love all your photos, Beck~ wonderful to look at everything!
the bedspread is beautiful Beck and my god those pikelets look good. I'm very partial to a pikelet or two. And my mum never made them for me as a kid.
Poor deprived me.
Anyway
Im loving your colour combo fun, especially the yellow brown combo.

Aww how beautiful is that last photo of your gorgeous girl snuggling on the new quilt. Just perfect!
Oh those bunny cardi's are soooooo cute! They look amazing. Nice quilt too - great idea.
Hi Beck,
I am soooo happy. Have just bought Bluebell. She will be going to my gorgeous niece Lola, who is 18 months, for Christmas. She may have to sit up for a wee while, but I know that she will love her. Lola is very good at giving hugs, so rest assured Bluebell is going to a very happy home and she will be very well loved. Thank you. You have made my day.
Your quilt looks amazing and I can see some FQs I sent ... thank you so much for making something so wonderful with it. And I love your little bunny choices ... I always love visiting to see your babies and their clothes.

Your new Vintage Quilt looks Fabulous...love the different size pieces...those little Cardies are so cute...must pop on over & have a peek at your shop....

I am desperately in love with your vintage sheet quilt. It looks so lovely. Was it hard to leave the design so random? I would be wrestling with my inner OCD the whole time :)
I love all the cardis and matching fabric.

those little outfits are just so gorgeous. and your pikelets look delicious! off to check out your shop :)
I've been wondering what all the vinatge sheet swappers were going to make with their swapsies. LOVE the quilt. Looks even a bit Springtimey. X
Oh Beck...

Wow.
I don't know where to start with the love! The bedcover is AWESOME. The cardis with the matching fabric? Also AWESOME. The finished bunnies... I think you get the picture...
You hadn't been showing up in my reader! The shock! The horror! I'm "following" you again now, so I hope that has sorted that out. Hurumph. ;)

Oh how I am enchanted by your beautiful little bunnies and thier sweet little coloured cardi's and your gorgeous photos and also your heartwarming post about having five children and celebrating a larger family. Hello!!
Beck! You're BREEDING bunnies! And I'm a bit SMITTEN with those quilty shots – I reckon the last is the Seal of Approval.
I love the fabric combos and the fat quarter sheet swap was a great idea!
Your quilt looks brilliant. Well done. Amazing how fabrics like that go together and look just right. Happy bunny creating.

Oh, I love the sheets sewn together. Very pretty. Just loved gazing at all the beautiful cardis and fabrics to match. You have such wonderful taste Beck. Thanks for being a friend.
Wow the quilt looks amazing! I can spot a few of mine in it :)
I love the way you pair the cardis with the fabrics - so pretty! You and your Mum are so uber talented! :)
so beautiful, that quilt is completely dreamy!
Way to go this looks simply lovely and judging by the last photo someone else thinks so too! I'm pretty sure I had those purple vintage sheets when I was little *sigh*
Oh those mini cardigans and matching fabrics are just adorable, I too would have much fun doing that!

Whoops, linked my creative space to the wrong week, but it means I got to see your beautiful vintage sheet quilt. I just might have to do that with mine!!
I'm so glad to see you make something of these precious squares so quickly. And not pile them into your shelves - as I surely would have done!
Beautiful pieces of summer. And your little jumpers are so sweet, and perfectly colour-matched.
Beautiful how that quilt turned out! But I am especially interested in that cushion cover in red you have on the bed... Is it made by you? Do you have the pattern? I just loooove it :-)
Thanks, enjoy your week!
